5:19 am
care. normally the system is set up where the doctor pharmacist and patient are on the same side trying to improve patient care. the doctor and pharmacist may be on opposite sides with the nasht the middle. >> they are saying if someone comes in with a valid prescription the onus is on oh the pharmacist to say what's the background of the patient. is that a proper understanding? >> exactly. they looked at cvs's data and found certain physicians prescribing more painkillers. they thought the practices were more suspicious and they are not allowing those physicians to fill prescriptions or patients to fill prescriptions at the pharmacy. it's not that the physician is being looked at by the board of oh medicine. the pharmacist is saying the prescriptions aren't valid anymore. >> what were the painkillers? >> more of the ones used for

moderate to severe pain. methadone, apprazolam. those are used for cancer-reelated pain by pain management specialists and people who treat more severe conditions. it's not so much about the drugs as the fact ta the set-up is antagonistic between the groups. >> do you think cvs had other motives? >> part of it is precipitated by the drug enforcement agency. walgreens settled a lawsuit reelated to this type of practice. their duty in terms of controlled substances. it's primarily motivated by that and not patient safety and patient care. but those might be factors. >> it feels like people are calling drug abuse a national ep di miracle. is -- epidemic.

5:33 am
to try to curtail concussion symptoms. the reality is they did. but they want more. when there is more people will be more aware of what's happening with the hits. so players will beer more aware. when they are more aware they start lowering the target area. when you lower the target area you end up near the knees. >> when you hear from players playing under new rules a lot of them are trying to avoid fines and they are going slow. does the this apply to everyone or just receive ers? >> it's a defenseless player. could be a quarterback when he hands off the ball carries out the fake he could be a defenseless player. he cannot be head in the head. a couple years ago a receiver would put two feet down and you could hit anymore in the head. now if he puts two feet down there has to be a split second where he's not considered defenseless and he can be hit. you can't go with the arms, forearms, hit with a helmet. the target area has shrunk.
5:34 am
if you're a defender that's a problem. you have to tackle him but tackle in a defined area. >> last week atlanta falcons tight end gonzales said that was ridiculous on his part. it should be fineable. that's not part of football hitting a defenseless player in the knee is something we all dread. hit me in the head he said. what do you make of it? >> well, knees are money for nfl players. a concussion is something down the road. they don't see it as a threat to their living. a guy will get a concussion and sit out a game or two. with a knee injury his career might be over. i will use keller as an example. he was on a one-year deal playing for next year to get a big contract. now he's up with a knee injury and may not get the big contract. guys see knees as money. concussions might provide long-term problems down the road. this is a situation now where they want to get paid. >> it's fascinating to hear.
5:35 am
the question which i don't know if there is an answer what can the nfl do? >> i think they have to be more aware of creating a better target area. if you can't go high and you can't go low it doesn't leave a lot of room for a guy to make a tackle. these guys travel so fast now. the game has become bigger faster stronger. when you have two guys moving at great speed it's hard to hit them in the proper area. they have to be aware of it look, study it closer. the committee will get together next year to look at a better way to have the guys tackle. >> espn announced yesterday it is backing out of a planned documentary collaboration with "front line." it was supposed to be about this head injury problem. in in depth investigation. it said it coulden get editorial control. what do you make on this? >> they had a meeting reportedly with the top brass of the nfl. i think there was pressure on them maybe not to air the documentary. not be a part of it.

they paid big money for rights fees. you don't want to rock the boat. the nfl rule it is world as it relates to television. there was maybe pressure from the national football league . >> pete, thanks so much. >> you got it. >> here is a look at the weather for your weekend. this weather segment sponsored by tums. >> up next a new segment discussing the latest medical news on "the morning rounds." this is "cbs this morning saturday."

estimating their chances of getting breast cancer. 690 women were evaluated for individual risk factors including health habits and family history. after destaled explanations of risks, one in five thought the information was wrong. most thought they were at a higher risk than was the case. a lot of this is about gut instinct. they believe they could have it. >> it is about gut instinct but studies show it can be wrong. it's a good thing we get the message out and people are aware. a lot of women are overestimating their risk. we don't want people to live in here. we don't want women the to worry about breast cancer instead of enjoying life. we hope some concern funnels itself into ways to prevent breast cancer by livinging life well. eating well. having a plant--based diet. exercising. maintaining a healthy weight. we know these things lower your risk. hopefully instead of worry we'll

5:44 am
in private practice when i closed the door and it was just me and the patient. the thought that you could be plugged into the village, ask questions, get advice that's powerful. >> in medical school everybody would compete to scrub into the best cases. if there was going to be a case everyone wanted to do it. now 50 people can watch. >> fascinating that this could be used in tandem and in continuing education for doctors as well. we have good news for people who lightning a big breakfast and want to lose a couple of pounds. they studied women to see if when they ate was as important as what they ate. half had the majority of the calories of the day at breakfast. the others had a more traditional schedule. the women who front-loaded calories lost twice as much weight even when they had chocolate cake for dessert at breakfast. >> we heard about fascinating

6:02 am
none of that can be verified unless weapons inspectors inside syria carry out tests on soil and tissue. so far the syrian government won't let testimony do that. it continues to deny it's used chemical weapons during the >> holly williams thank you. san francisco is under a state of emergency as that massive wildfire near yosemite national park, 150 miles away grows bigger and more dangerous by the minute. the fire is threatening san francisco's power supply, forcing the city to shut down two of three hydroelectric

minutes ago. the event began t with the official prayer before the thousands of begin e mlk statue and then over to the washington monument the reverend al sharpton and martin luther king, iii, are expected to appear. this is a commemoration of the speech by dr. martin luther king, jr., attended by 250 people. it was a watershed moment for the civil rights movement. >> i have a dream that my four little children will one day rif live in a nation where they will not be judge bid the color of their skin but the content of their character. i have a dream today. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: there are several events here today and over the next few days leading up to
6:05 am
wednesday's speech by president obama who will stand where martin luther king jr., stood 50 years ago when he made that famous "i have a dream" speech. >> we can hear the music behind you. thank you. joining us from austin texas, with more is cbs news presidential historian douglas brinkley. good morning. >> good morning. >> when people think about the march they think about the speech. we heard a snippet of it in the story. that speech wasn't planned. that segment of it. was it? >> not at all. dr. king gave some of the lines, particularly i have a dream, in cobo hall in detroit and also in chicago. he ended up writing out a different speech and about 300 copies were mass circulated to the press. everybody thought they knew what dr. king would say. lo and behold, he started off
6:06 am
normal. but mahala jackson, a great gospel singer said tell them about the dream, martin. tell them about the dream. she knew he would get into a pastoral or the role of the minister. he started with the cadence we foe well from the southern baptist church. when people hear the "i have a dream" speech now they get chills. >> did anyone expect a crowd that size back then? >> nobody knew what to expect. that's why john f. kennedy, president kennedy was skeptical about the march. it was a recipe for anarchy. people drifting in to washington from all sides. there had been marches on washington before. there was a bonus march of oh world war i veterans and it never went particularly well. this was a big unknown. could they have a mass rally where there wasn't violence. the answer in the end is yes.
6:07 am
king and other organizers pulled it off. >> you mentioned mahalia jackson. bob dylan also performed at the event. what did he tell you about being there? >> he doesn't have many stories because he was so low on the totem pole in those days. he wrote a song called "oxford town," only a pawn in the game. of course the times are achanging would be coming out soon. he became is voice of the civil rights movement. this was a day when the leaders of the naacp, john lewis representing the young people . but it was a day really building up like a rock concert would for the moment for martin luther king king. he was world renowned as a person who spawned the montgomery bus boycott of 1955. he was a figure when he was arrested the president of the united states would make calls
6:08 am
to. he was a rock star really, leading the legions that day. >> one thing i found interesting is there wasn't a big role for women at this rally. rosa parks did speak. but later she complained that women didn't play a bigger part. >> she complained to me about it. i wrote a biography of her. she said it was very annoying because all of the men were grabbing the tspots. the women as entertainment might be okay. but what do we do with dorothy cot t ton or rosa parks. she pointed out the prejudice against women at the march. this week barack obama went to seneca falls, birthplace of the women's movement. elizabeth cady stanton, susan b. anthony and the like. i have a hunch this week barack obama will talk about the women's movement. he he evokes seneca fall and selma and stonewall in his
6:09 am
second inaugural address, president obama. this week he may bring the women's movement. what's amazing about the king speech in the moment is it's no longer just about civil rights. it's about human rights. >> you mentioned women. do you think a march of this magnitude could ever be replicated? >> i think times have changed. there would be different security concerns. but, yes, we might see it with nelson mandela's a funeral. a million people might be in the streets of capetown and johannesburg to honor mandela. you never know. we haven't seen a rally like this one, one that's seared itself in the annals of history since 1963. it is appropriate. we now have an african-american president. to think about the progress that's been made and all that's yet to come king's message was one of aspiration that will never be old. it will be evergreen because it
6:10 am

6:17 am
back and play batman again. he said when they made "the dark knight rises" he was done. he was a man of oh his word. he didn't come back. i don't know who among this table would be that good to their word. >> only $50 million. >> i'm available for $50 million. >> if ben changes h his mind. >> "dare devil," the previous super he hero job for ben wasn't a big success. >> it was a medium success. i don't think ben affleck was the problem there. it was made in 2003 at the height of oh matrix mania. it looks like the matrix the. everyone in leather. everyone scowling wearing sunglasses. there are a lot of bad wire effects. it was at the wrong time. a bunch of stuff didn't come together. >> you look at the history of t role. george clooney value kilmer

6:24 am
as how they raised their sons and daughters. they started to think, i want my boys and girls to have equal opportunity. not just the boys. to have an opportunity. it changed and gave women -- it was amazing how empowered women to ask for what they wanted or needed. i could not tell you. i walked in they came in, billie, for ten years we wanted to ask for a raise and we asked for it. i said more importantly, did you get it. they said, yes. they were excited. >> when you were 11 you had an epiphany. >> at 12 actually. at 11 i wanted to be number one. the second time i played tennis i knew. >> what was the epiphany at 12? >> i wanted to change my sport, the world around me. everyone in tennis wore white socks, shoes, clothes, played with white balls and everyone who played was white. i asked, where is everybody
6:25 am
else? >> one thing tahat struck me in the dom tri is your lawyer and people on the team didn't want you to come out. >> no. that sizes up the culture. i did lose endorsements but it started the process for me to get comfortable in my own skin. it was a horrible time. i come from a home phobic family. it was a sign of the times as well. it would be hard for people to realize how difficult it was. that's why i would never out somebody. but the lgbt community, the gay rights are the civil rights of the 21st century. we are at a tipping point. >> what do you think olympic athletes should do this year? >> that's a hard one. >> if you were an olympic athlete what would you do? >> at this age i would say, i'm not going, screw it. when you're in the thick of playing and this is your only

6:28 am
>> not at all. there is a fine line you walk. people lived and died by things that happened to me and what i did to myself on the golf course. sport is an interesting way of understanding a person's psyche that individual. people who watch you, want to reach through the tv screen, touch and feel you. so the outcrying of support i have had over the years in 35 years of playing golf as allowed me to evolve to being the person i am today. be natural. be who you are. if you played kwofl golf one way, be that way. never put the game above yourself. put the game ahead of everything you do. the game is the most important thing. i was able to capture that because of the fan support i have had today. now in the business world it's amazing being a living icon. when you are the living brand it is an interesting path you have to walk down compared to walking to the first tee staying inside the ropes and playing golf.
